It is true that Yang Benzhong is the commander, but he is the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, so why should he be in charge of a vassal town?

Take ten thousand steps back, even if the other party holds the will of King Shi Yu.

The Fang family has been working hard in Shuolin Town, a poor and barren place, for decades, not just to let people pick peaches when the end comes. On this three-acre land, Fang Huayun's words are more useful than the imperial edict.

too much.

It is the norm in the four western towns to listen to the tune but not the propaganda.

Moreover, no matter which feudal town he went to with his tens of thousands of troops, the other party would be suspicious of whether he was using an excuse to fight with the Chetuo people and secretly wanted to occupy his own territory.

It is easy to ask God, but it is difficult to send God!

If it were him, to be fair, he wouldn't necessarily want others to come over.

Therefore, Fang Huayun simply used the dragging technique.

He did not want to hold off the Chetuo people's army until the other three towns came to help. He did not want to fight a real battle with the Chetuo people. According to the practice of fighting with Dashi, the other side would not see any benefit at this time, so it was natural to retreat.

Already.

Until now, no one thinks that King Chetuo is so ambitious that he wants to conquer the entire Heniu State.

Yang Benzhong's thoughts of redeeming himself were completely ruined.

Now, the only thing he can hope for is that King Shi Yu can listen to his report and put all the blame for the defeat of this battle on Zheng Xin. Only in this way can he escape.

…

And while Yang Benzhong was anxious and uneasy, King Shiyu finally received the message from the front line.

Shanggu City was lost on the eleventh day, and nearly all of the 80,000 elite soldiers were wiped out. However, this was an unprecedented defeat for King Shiyu since he came to the throne. How could King Shiyu, who always loved great achievements and claimed to be a hero, endure it?

?

For the first time in history, he lost his composure in the court, threw the memorial in his hand angrily, stood up and ordered the execution of Zheng Xin's entire family.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

The old Prime Minister also knew that King Shi Yu was angry, but before he could find out the truth, he rashly dealt with the generals guarding the border. Something like this had never happened before, and he was afraid that he would not make the generals guarding the border towns have second thoughts.

If someone else had said this to someone else, maybe King Shi Yu would have considered it, but at this moment, the other person was really feeling guilty.

If Yang Benzhong can return to the court in victory, it will prove that King Shiyu's vision is not wrong, and he may be a little more confident in facing the old prime minister.

The general he was optimistic about was defeated, which further proved that the old Xiangbang's vision was ten times and a hundred times stronger than that of his own monarch.

No matter what the other party said, it made King Shi Yu feel even more shameless and a slap in his face.

There is nothing wrong with King Shi Yu being used to describe him as cowardly but timid. His extreme low self-esteem made him blame everything on others. This is why he couldn't wait to punish Zheng Xin.

Only when Zheng Xin is wrong can we prove that he, King Shiyu, is not wrong.

What King Shiyu needs now is not someone to tell him what is right and what is wrong, but someone who can help him get out of this matter.

As the leader of the resurgence of Shiyu Shangguo, he cannot and cannot be at fault.

The old Xiangguo had considered everything, but failed to consider this point, which meant that his advice to King Shi Yu only added fuel to the fire.

"Father, my country, Shiyu, has always only had generals who died in battles, but never defeated generals. This man's appearance in the Chetuo Army was seen by Yang Benzhong and Zhong Zhun with their own eyes. Zhong Zhun was a disciple brought out by General Zhang.

, you can’t collude with Yang Benzhong in private, right?”

Zhong Zhun was a subordinate of the deputy commander Zhang Huaizhi. In the eyes of King Shi Yu, he was a member of the old prime minister.

"I have here a blood letter written by General Chang Damao. I beg your Majesty to read it in person. Before General Chang died, he bit off his finger and used the blood as ink to reveal the secret of this battle."

"I don't know who the person is, so please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Chang Damao's two cronies, Zhi Feng Mu Yu, rushed all the way and actually dared to deliver the blood letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion before the courier. Only then did the scene in the court happen.

King Shi Yu took the blood letter and glanced at it casually. After looking at the content of the letter carefully, he saw that it was a choice.

The appearance of eating people.

"Yang Benzhong, you fool has harmed our three armies, I swear to kill you!"

The content of Chang Damao's letter was completely opposite to Yang Benzhong's memorial. It clearly stated the reason why Yang Benzhong delayed the military situation and that Zheng Xin held on to Shanggu City until reinforcements arrived before it was captured.

To be honest, Yang Benzhong must bear at least 90% of the responsibility for the defeat of this battle.

"Xi Linan, you dog slave, this is the handsome man you recommended to me, the handsome man who burned eighty thousand of my elite soldiers to the ground?!"

King Shiyu smashed the blood letter and the memorial into Xi Linan's face.

The edge of the memorial made a bloody gash on his head, but Xi Linan did not dare to reach out and wipe it away. He hurriedly picked up the memorial and the bloody letter from the ground. The more Xi Linan looked at it, the more shocking it became.

Until finally, he knelt down in front of King Shi Yu with a plop.

"Your Majesty, spare your life. Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I don't know people well and was deceived by that guy, so I thought this person was a great talent. I also want to recommend talents to serve the country!"

Xi Linan figured out what King Shi Yu was thinking.

Knowing that the other party was just looking for someone to take the blame, he hurriedly put all the blame on himself.

I don't recognize people well because I am old and dim, and have nothing to do with the wise and mighty king.

At the same time, Xi Linan was also secretly cursing Yang Benzhong in his heart. If he loses the battle, he will lose. He didn't know how to clean up his hands and let people escape to complain. It's really a lack of strategy!

"As long as you know clearly in your heart, Yang Benzhong was unlucky in his campaign and framed a loyal man. I am sending an order to any of the four guard generals to capture Yang Benzhong, behead him, and have his head mortared and sent to the royal city. I will personally pay homage to the souls of the soldiers."

"Yang Benzhong's wife, daughter, and heirs were all exiled for seven hundred miles, and were kept as slaves by the armored men!"

"As for you, you will be fined for nine months and demoted two levels as punishment. If you recommend this kind of thing to me next time, I will definitely not take it easy!"

Everyone leaned down and shouted to His Majesty, His Majesty.

King Shiyu was relieved when he saw this, and the matter was finally settled by Tahu.

As for Xi Linan's punishment, of course it is only temporary. After all, there is no such a hard-working female minister to attract firepower for him in the front. Is it possible that he, the majestic King of Lions, Yu, will go out in person to challenge his ministers?

Xi Linan also knew this, and his face showed just the right amount of sadness, but his heart was completely calm.

As for that idiot Yang Benzhong, he is probably completely hopeless. After all, everyone needs a scapegoat. In terms of status, he has just the right weight. Only by killing this person can the morale of the army be stabilized.

Seeing this, Xu Xiang opened his mouth, thinking that he could completely defeat him this time, but unexpectedly, King Shi Yu still raised it high and put it down gently.

Sighing silently in his heart, the old prime minister returned his attention to the military situation.
